A contemporary design to a basic band style bracelet is super cool to wear.
I wanted to design a chunky wide style bracelet that had an element of uniqueness to it. Digging through my stash I found this large metal ring, I decided to make it part of the closure. I attached it with a piece of scrap leather for a touch of color.
I wanted the band to be wider in style, but it wouldn’t fit though the ring, so I notched & trimmed, the “accidental” design turned into a super edgy statement. Better yet, it has an off-set style to the closure. It’s awesome!

RURAL ROOTS + SLOW STYLE ART
I’m a self-taught artist from Minnesota-you betcha!! I enjoy taking discarded materials & creating them into new means of usefulness. My choice of medium is tractor & bicycle inner tubes along with found objects of interest.
My art is a slow style jewelry & handbag atelier founded in 2008, my focus is ethically crafted in timeless silhouettes that contain boldness & driven by my passion to be uncommon. I don’t do cookie-cutter!
All my styles are 100% handmade to be minimal waste-meaning only small amounts of the inner tube are left over after cutting, sewing & assembling my work. I believe that having a propose in creating my art softens the carbon footprint we leave behind. Together we can make a conscious choice to stand for our values.
Black is my happy color!
